Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum working temperature of a disc magnet?
Standard N-series grades work up to 80 °C. Grades N50, N52 and N54 have a lower limit of 60 °C, because coercivity falls as BHmax rises. Higher temperatures require the H (120 °C), SH (150 °C), UH (180 °C), EH (200 °C) or AH (230 °C) series. Within the working range the magnet loses about 0.11% of its induction per degree, and that loss is reversible.
What is the difference between N38, N42 and N52?
The number after N is the energy product BHmax. Moving from N38 to N52 raises it by several tens of percent, but the real holding force increases by roughly 20%, because force also depends on geometry and on the magnetic circuit. N52 costs about twice as much as N42, so for most mounting work N38–N42 is the best price-to-force ratio.
What is the dimensional tolerance?
±0.1 mm as standard, ±0.05 mm to order. The tolerance is stated next to the dimensions on every product page.

1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.64

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. The solid red line represents the demagnetization curve (material potential), while the dashed blue line is the load line based on the magnet's geometry. The Pc (Permeance Coefficient), also known as the load line slope, is a dimensionless value that describes the relationship between the magnet's shape and its magnetic stability. The intersection of these two lines (the black dot) is the operating point — it determines the actual magnetic flux density generated by the magnet in this specific configuration. A higher Pc value means the magnet is more 'slender' (tall relative to its area), resulting in a higher operating point and better resistance to irreversible demagnetization caused by external fields or temperature. A value of 0.42 is relatively low (typical for flat magnets), meaning the operating point is closer to the 'knee' of the curve — caution is advised when operating at temperatures near the maximum limit to avoid strength loss.

Field Strength

Other products

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø70x40 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 70x40 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 164.24 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 1611.16 N with a weight of only 1154.54 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 70.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø70x40), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø70x40 mm, which, at a weight of 1154.54 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 164.24 kg (force ~1611.16 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 40 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Such an arrangement is standard when connecting magnets in stacks (e.g., in filters) or when mounting in sockets at the bottom of a hole. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their immense field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains very high,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of accurate forming as well as adapting to concrete requirements,
  • Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are used in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?

The load parameter shown concerns the limit force, obtained under optimal environment, meaning:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Key elements affecting lifting force

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Plate thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Fire risk

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Crushing risk

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Warning for heart patients

Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Adults only

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.

Allergic reactions

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Demagnetization risk

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Handling rules

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Protect data

Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
